Hmmm. There are some that would disagree:
The only people who think any meaningful business in non-trivial genuine antiquities is currently conducted on eBay are provenance researchers. I've never come across a dealer or collector who believes this.
Except the dealers that do sell items on ebay, or have until the recent changes. Sands of Time, Edgar Owen or example, Zurquieh, Timeline Auctions (in the past) and all those "professional numismatists" - the ones not on the Coin Forgery Discussion Group's blacklist. The very fact that the latter exists indicates there are collectors that believe there are genuine artefacts to be bought there.
